### Default Message

By default, camelAI displays: **Your data is connected. Ask me anything!**

### Customization

Replace the default with your own welcome message:

* **Character Limit**: Maximum 120 characters
* **Visibility**: Appears in every new chat session

### Examples

Here are some effective start messages for different use cases:

  ```
